7月10日，日本众议院通过了一项旨在缓解皇室继承危机的法案。随着皇室成员人数减少，且在仅限男性继承的规则下，皇室仅剩下一名年轻男性继承人，这一危机日益严峻。
该法案将修订《皇室典范》，允许皇室收养15岁以上的男性远亲，并允许女性成员在与非皇室成员结婚后保留其皇室身份。法案未涉及女性天皇的可能性，这意味着24岁的爱子内亲王仍被排除在皇位继承权之外。
自由民主党资深议员村上诚一郎称将爱子内亲王排除在天皇人选之外是“极其荒唐的”。81岁的原皇室成员久迩朝宏表示，收养男性远亲不切实际，他会建议自己的孙辈拒绝被收养。
目前皇室共有16名成员，其中包括5名男性。《朝日新闻》5月份的一项民意调查显示，72%的受访者支持修改规则，允许女性继位。该法案接下来将在参议院进行辩论。
